That works fine. It's not a huge description and it fits in well with the dialogue.

I would change the "was" to "had been". "Last time they met, he had been drinking a chocolate protein beverage, while Sara had been drinking ginger-kale juice." Or you could shorten it to "he'd been drinking..." if you want. The use of "was" just sounds weird to me and doesn't really fit.
